What's a "pontil," you ask - and why are you pointing it at me? A pontil is a metal rod used in glass-blowing. Pontil and Paintbrush names the inaugural collaboration by two San Antonio artists on a jointly held open house to show their distinctive art work in different media - art glass and fine art paintings. The artists invite you and your friends to attend and enjoy their art and company at this coming event in San Antonio, Texas.

Carl Covert in studio

Carl Covert, glass artist, spends time every weekend in the studio. Carl describes himself as an artist imprisoned in a lawyer's body. You can find him in the studio, even in the height of summer in San Antonio, working in extreme temperatures to bring his colorful and inspired glass creations to life.

Laurie Stallman, an artist specializing in abstracts, brings the paintbrush to this party. Her imaginative and colorful paintings invite viewers to participate fully in determining the story. She is inspired by nature and "...scenes visible only through the wonders of technology and science. Like neuroscience and nebulas." Find out more about her art at lauriestallmanart.com
